NOWHERE CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO BRIGG

Were you caught out by Thursday night's two power cuts in Brigg on Thursday night?
We soon had a torch to hand and candles lit and we know others in Brigg were similarly prepared. 
Northern Powergrid ‏@Northpowergrid  soon sent a Twitter message: "We know about the power cut in #BRIGG area, engineers are on their way. Sorry about this, for updates visit http://ow.ly/MFwkS "
We well recall that when the miners' strikes left us without coal-generated electricity for lengthy periods in the early 1970s, many Brigg folk had candles in the outside toilets of their council houses.
Those who WERE caught out on Thursday night when the lights went out will presumably be visiting local shops for candles, torches other forms of instant illumination.
